| Video Game Movies are the New Comic Book Movies - #343 | 25 Feb 2026 | 01:32:59 | |
This week Hans Gougar joins to discuss the current state of video game adaptations in Hollywood. Between Nintendo's collaborations with Sony Pictures and Universal, to television like Fallout & The Last of Us, the hottest trend in cinema right now is adapting your favorite game to the silver (or small) screen. In what ways is this similar to the superhero Marvel Studios-led gold rush, and what lessons can Hollywood learn from the last 5 years of superhero fatigue? We break it all down. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond leaving Xbox, Sony closing down Playstation studio Bluepoint, the Supreme Court overturning Trump's tariffs, Pokemon Leaf Green and Fire Red coming to Switch and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.
